Each week during the regular season we look at some of the key
statistical performances from the weekend in Division III football,
highlighting one per region.

After seven weeks, Carleton finally had another home game on its
campus in Northfield, Minn., where Laird Stadium had been
underwater after the nearby Cannon River flooded.

Unfortunately, St. John's was the visitor on Saturday, and the
Johnnies rolled up 502 yards of total offense, were 12-of-16 on
third-down conversions and a perfect 5-for-5 in the red zone in
beating Carleton 31-13.

Gettysburg quarterback Kyle Whitmoyer had a hand in six
touchdowns, including five through the air, in the Bullets’
61-50 come-from-behind win against Susquehanna. He completed 20 of
28 passes for a career-high 374 yards while also rushing 11 times
for 70 yards with a score. Whitmoyer helped engineer a Bullet
comeback from a 50-27 deficit in the final 18 minutes, throwing
three consecutive touchdown passes to kick off a 34-0 game-ending
run.

Wesley defensive end Chris Mayes had seven tackles, five solo,
with four tackles for a loss, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble
recovery in the Route 13 Rivalry win against Salisbury. He helped
spearhead a defense that held the second rated rushing attack in
Division III to 164 yards, 279 under its average) and two runners
in the top 12 statistically were held to 17 yards combined on 35
carries.

The Greenville offensive line (with starters David Butler,
Andrew Story, Tim Burroughs, Steven Schultz, and Jeremy Burrows)
blocked for six running backs who had carries of more than 20
yards, including runs of 64, 65 and 81 yards in a 51-20 win against
Crown. Greenville ran for 534 yards on 46 carries, an 11.6-yard
average.
